My Version of Nasi Gila or Crazy Rice

In Menteng area, Central Jakarta, Indonesia

there is a street food vendor that sell "Nasi Gila"

which literally translated as "Crazy Rice" in English.

That was the firs time I ate Nasi Gila.

There are few other places that sells Nasi Gila too not only in Menteng area.

It consists of sausages, lamb or beef, egg, and I think it has sweet soy sauce too.

Now, I am not a fan of red meat, so when the first time I went there,

my friend ordered for me, he said "it is good, you must try it"

when it came, I eat all but the meat.

Yesterday I had prawns, eggs, chicken sausages and button mushroom.

I was looking at them and thinking what to cook,

then I think OK, I will make Nasi Gila my style with no sweet sauce.

So I made it and my family (especially my son) loved it!!

So here it is:

Ingredients:

500 gr of prawns, peeled and deveined

4 eggs, beaten well

100 gr of button mushroom, sliced

4 chicken sausages, sliced

1 green onion, thinly sliced

1 small brown onion, thinly sliced

2 shallots, thinly sliced

1 garlic, thinly sliced

3/4 cup of sweet corn kernels

a touch of fish sauce

1 tsp of salt

pepper to taste

Method:

Mix eggs with salt, pepper and green onion. Set aside.

Heat wok in high heat and add oil,

once oil really hot,

add prawns, sautee until just cooked.

Moved prawns to a bowl.

Use used oil to sautee brown onion, shallots,

and brown mushroom,

sautee until mushroom just soften,

then add garlic and sausages,

sautee until mushroom is really cooked and soften,

add corn kernel and egg mixture.

Cook until the eggs are cooked on one side

and mix well, until all completely cooked.

Serve with warm jasmine rice

and garnish with fried shallots.

... enjoy ...
